For filling:
10 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar just until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating just until blended.
Pour batter into baked crust. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls over the top of the filling.
Bake about 30 minutes until set; transfer to wire rack.
Drizzle with 1/3 cup melted semisweet chocolate chips (1/2 tablespoon butter may be added to make the chocolate smooth).
Cool bars in pan completely (about one hour). Using edges of the parchment paper, remove the bars from pan and slice.
